Frequently Asked Questions

What is the open-core model?

Our open-core model means the core RabbitHR platform (Community Edition) is 100% open source and free forever. Advanced features like AI agents, compliance modules, and enterprise integrations are available in our paid Enterprise Cloud plans. This ensures transparency while funding continued development.

Is the Community Edition really free forever?

Yes! The Community Edition is released under a permissive open source license. You can self-host it for free, forever, with unlimited users, jobs, and candidates. You only pay for your own infrastructure costs (servers, databases, etc.). No hidden fees, no time limits.

What AI features are included in the Small Team plan?

The Small Team plan includes AI-powered resume screening that automatically ranks candidates, an intelligent interview question generator based on job requirements, automated candidate workflows, and advanced hiring analytics. These AI agents learn from your hiring patterns to improve over time.

Why do you charge per-user instead of flat pricing?

Per-user pricing ensures fair value alignment and prevents account sharing that would undermine our sustainability. Small teams pay less ($20/user/month), while larger organizations benefit from volume discounts and enterprise features. This model scales naturally with your hiring needs and team growth.

Can I migrate from Community Edition to Enterprise Cloud?

Absolutely! We provide migration tools and dedicated support to help you transition from self-hosted Community Edition to Enterprise Cloud seamlessly. Your data, pipelines, and workflows transfer over without disruption. Many customers start free and upgrade as they scale.

What compliance certifications does Enterprise Cloud include?

Enterprise Cloud includes SOC 2 Type II certification, GDPR compliance modules, data residency options, and custom compliance frameworks. We also offer dedicated BAAs for healthcare organizations and custom audit reports for financial services companies.

How does RabbitHR compare to traditional ATS pricing?

Traditional ATS platforms charge $200-500 per user per month with setup fees and long-term contracts. RabbitHR offers a free Community Edition or $20/user/month for AI-powered cloud features. That's 90%+ cost savings for most organizations while delivering modern, AI-powered recruitment tools.
